Look for the punk gear tips and techniques thread.

Bad Religion? Give up. Minor threat? For the early stuff, you might be able to get away with turning it up really loud and covering the speakers with pillows or something.

i think it should be stated that no <b>good</b> tones will come from a Line 6.
sure, people have their preferences, and most people who own them say they're great, until they hear something better.
but for minor threat, i think it would be good to stay the hell away from their garbage presets, crank the bass and keep the mids about half way, and keep the treble fairly high, and i usually use my bridge pickup for that hardcore punk stuff. that should get you as close as you'll get with a spider.
and for bad religion... i have no idea.
they've always used marshall jmp amps.
so if line 6 has a crappy copy of that, use it. if not, think about maybe investing in a new amp.
maybe a cheaper tube combo.

Yeah, Line 6 will sound too modern and produced for a Minor Threat song

Despite the fact that you used to have Skrewdriver in your favorite bands on your profile. :rolleyes:

And I've seen your other posts in some thread in the pit. Something about "**** Socialism". I'm sorry that I don't take kindly to some nazi-listening extremist who advocates violence towards me and many of my friends due to our political beliefs.

**** off.

Sorry if I offended you and your friends but im not an nazi extremist or anything, my username is facetious, but in my opinion socialism is not good in any way and i believe democracy is the best form of government. I'm for equal rights for everyone but I just dont support communism, facism, or any thing like that. And the only reason I know of Skrewdriver is from growing up around friends who like alot of different uk punk and oi music so i grew up listening to many old school punk bands. Skrewdriver wasn't even racist until they reformed in the early 80s but **** that, im not racist.
